Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The US 2021 Edition – Rare Japanese Craftsmanship, Bottled for America
From the renowned Chichibu Distillery, founded by whisky visionary Ichiro Akuto, comes the Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The US 2021 Edition, a limited-release Japanese single malt crafted exclusively for the United States. Revered for its small-batch precision and deep respect for traditional methods, this expression showcases the bold spirit and delicate balance that have made Chichibu one of the world’s most sought-after distilleries.
Aged in a selection of bourbon, new oak, and sherry casks, the US 2021 Edition delivers remarkable complexity and youthful vibrancy. On the nose, it opens with bright aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and orchard blossoms, layered with honeyed malt, white pepper, and a trace of incense-like wood smoke. The palate is lively yet refined, featuring notes of pear tart, vanilla cream, and lemon curd, balanced by warming spice, toasted oak, and a hint of dried herbs. The finish is clean, long, and elegant, with fading notes of sweet spice, malted cereal, and a whisper of Japanese oak character.
Why It’s Exceptional:
- Crafted Exclusively for the U.S.: A rare bottling made available only to the American market.
- Multiple Cask Influence: A vibrant mix of bourbon, new oak, and sherry casks add richness and nuance.
- Limited Japanese Single Malt: From one of Japan’s smallest and most respected distilleries, produced in ultra-limited quantities.
Whether you’re a collector of Japanese whisky, a fan of Ichiro’s visionary style, or a connoisseur of unique single malts, Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The US 2021 Edition is a prized addition to any serious whisky collection.
Sip the spirit of Chichibu. Savor the rare.
